The Glen Valley Paddle
Laura Wright is raising money for The Matt Hampson Foundation
Story
Laura's Story:
I recently became an ambassador for Hambo's charity and attended/performed at his recent six nations dinner. We wanted to think of a challenge that was a little bit different and The Glen Valley Paddle seemed perfect. Harry was determined to do something after his knee injury too. And with both our knackered knees a marathon was definitely out of the picture! So...here we are! Please help us raise as much of our target as possible. I hope the rugby community will support this cause and many other people further afield. Here's hoping! Lx
Harry's Story:
After breaking my back and having neck surgery early in my rugby playing career I have realised how lucky I am to still be able to live my life without the restrictions thats some people experience. I have been wanting to challenge myself for the benefit of others for a long while, but after a friend of mine Jack Fishwick suffered a life changing spinal injury playing rugby I could no longer be selfish and wanted to jump to action straight away! We are paddling for the Matt Hampson Foundation and BackUp Team who continue to help Jack with his rehabilitation.
I hope we can all get behind Laura and myself and send some well needed luck and (winds) for us on our challenge....
